Here is food for thought on a Friday. I really wish there were fewer artificial intelligence related matters to discuss, but alas this is the world we live in now. It will only become more and more pervasive going forward. Click through to read the article posted on france24.com and post your though...

How very predictable - and foolish. This must be resisted. For humanity to preserve itself, AI should never be granted legal rights of any kind. There are activists out there who will try to push this through lobbying and through litigation:

“In the Musk/Twitter situation, Musk is alleging that Twitter has failed to meet its contractual obligations for the disclosure of spam and bot accounts. (I’m paraphrasing here but that is the gist of it.) Musk is not just saying that to say it, he is saying that because there is a provision in the Purchase Agreement which requires Twitter to do so.
